Tow your fifth wheel with greater confidence using the Demco 8550047 Autoslide Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch. This brand new automatic sliding hitch is engineered specifically for short-bed pickup trucks, providing 13,000 pounds of towing capacity and an impressive 22-1/2 inches of automatic slider travel to maximize cab-to-trailer clearance during tight turns.
Designed for 5-1/2-foot and 6-foot truck beds, the Autoslide automatically moves the trailer rearward while turning, eliminating the need to manually unlock or reposition the hitch. It also features 2-3/4 inches of side-to-side travel, helping reduce the chance of the trailer pin box contacting tonneau cover rails or bed rails.
Built from heavy-duty steel with a durable black finish, the hitch includes industry-standard bed rails, a secure wrap-around jaw with locking bar, and three vertical height adjustment positions for proper truck and trailer leveling.
